Here's one idea

Here's part a column I read today, I thought readers of this blog might find interesting. This is taken from Bill Simmons, aka The Sports Guy from Espn.com. In the column he makes predictions based on the Vegas lines for the games. Here's this weeks write up about the Lion's game.

LIONS (+10) over Vikings
So, here's my plan that I hatched during an unfathomably depressing Thanksgiving game in Detroit: If the state of Michigan were a struggling athlete, we'd say, "Man, he needs a change of scenery." Well, why can't we give Michigan a change of scenery? What if we sold Michigan to Canada since it's right on their border?

Think about it. Canada gets the spiritual lift of purchasing one of the 50 states, as well as musicians like Kid Rock, Bob Seger and Eminem, a second NBA and MLB team, an entry into the Big Ten, another NHL team, its first NFL team and, of course, more territory. Canadians would be flying high ... so high they wouldn't even mind that they were now involved in the WNBA. Meanwhile, America would escape billion-dollar buyouts for the car companies, and if we need a 50th state, we can always use Puerto Rico as long as it doesn't put us over the luxury tax. Michigan natives get universal health care, a fresh start and a chance to feel like they're spending more money than usual with the Canadian dollar. Everyone wins! I'm a genius. Just wait until I become Sports Czar and I talk my man Barry* into this.

*Not to insult your intelligence but if you didn't know he's referring to Barrack Obama, who used to go by Barry, and that Barrack will make a new post for a Sport Czar.

Interesting, and kind of funny... also a little depressing. Feel free to comment.
